With $63.5 million in completed projects and another $108.5 million currently under construction in downtown Davenport, over 300 guests celebrated the area's continued momentum during Downtown Davenport Partnerships (DDP) Annual Meeting last week.

While the investment numbers tell quite a story on their own on the resurgence of business and residents coming downtown, DDP Executive Director Kyle Carter also emphasized the importance of building on the music culture and its impact on the region. “The scene is legit and we need to start talking and acting like it. And I think it’s had a major impact on workforce retention and recruitment and will continue to.”
